Don’t go where I can’t see you by Jeremy Wood:
GPS flight tracks with section of the River Thames in London
1:500 000 Scale, 100 km Grid
Indirectly via prosthetic knowledge. I also noticed his earlier My Ghost in Claire Dobbin’s new book, London Underground Maps, which seems to have some overlap with the previous three Capital Transport books on the map (which I should probably write about), but which also covers some new territory. I may have to buy it.

John Gay extensively photographed urban scenes, particularly in London. He published a book of photographs of the capital,London Observed, in 1964. This is his own take on Tower Bridge.
